The second part of this comment seems strange to me. Surely nothing on Hacker News is shared with the expectation that it will be interesting, or useful, to everyone. Equally, surely there are some people on HN who will be interested in a framework, even if it might be too heavy for other people.
It doesn’t force you to use any of the extra functionality. My team has been using it just for the version control part for a couple years and it has worked great.
Yep. I personally like DVC's pipeline implementation because it's lightweight and language-agnostic, but haven't gotten into using their experiment tracking features.
Not everybody wants a framework.
